Dear Crash Test Dummy

We were in a 1989 California-5 speed diesel when we fell off the highway in
What’s Sa Matter, Why O Ming in December of 2009 -
Rolled - landed on Roof - roller Landed on port side -
Roof at front crushed down to head rest -
Sides crushed in with floor buckled -

Both of us strapped in - walked away with minor cuts and no bruises -
Oh and Wavey the Wonder   Cat 🐱 became an international celebrity cat from
the incident —
These Vanagon’s are built to protect the people inside with structural
crush zones in the heater ducts and venting systems-
Miss our Tin Can every day
Regards
